getting a sort of rattle sound from the front near the clutch, the rattle gets worse when the car is up to temp but stops when you press the clutch in.
it sounds like this video (not as loud) - you can hear it more from the clutch / gearbox area and also stops when you press the clutch pedel.
spoke to Alfa indy who isn't sure but thinks it maybe the clutch or gearbox - but clutch would normally cause issues changing gear or the gearbox would whine.
the car has only done about 45,000 and drives very nice and has no problem changing gear or issue with power, however no other alfa to compare against other than my non-italian daily or my GS
some googling and lot of Alfa guys are talking about DMF (dual mass flywheel) but their rattle is when the clutch is pressed - reverse to what I'm getting. found a 2008 that Dan from HR Owen (maybe the same Ftech Dan) fixed the issue by replacing the mid-shaft bearing (but wouldn't this whine). Oh come back Dan...
any experience or suggestion from our Alfa guys...
